Question

You place a 7.08 kg television set on a spring scale. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the scale reads 82.92 N, what is the acceleration of gravity at that location? Answer in units of m/s 2 .

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration of the gravity at that location will be $a=11.711m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the television m = 7.08 kg

Force which scales measure F = 82.92 N

We have to find the acceleration

From newton's law we know that force is given by

$F=ma$

So $82.92=7.08\times a$

$a=11.711m/sec^2$

So acceleration of the gravity at that location will be $a=11.711m/sec^2$
